Do you know anyone that has been killed or badly hurt in a car crash? Most people between 15 and 25 know at least one person who has and that’s not surprising because1 in 5 new drivers will crash within a year of passing their test. The a²om BTEC in Driving Science has been designed to make you a better driver from Day 1, so after passing your test you will be above the required standard and safer on the road.
The a²om BTEC in Driving Science is the world’s first academic qualification in novice driver training. Equivalent to a GCSE Level, it is your chance to be a pioneer in revolutionising the way driving is taught and learnt. The a²om BTEC in Driving Science is completed over a normal course of driving lessons. It will result in a more fully informed driver with a full appreciation of all the factors that influence safety.
‘I am delighted to see a²om’s national BTEC scheme bringing to the UK some of the most advanced learning from around the world. a²om is to be commended for its initiative to counter some of the significant problems affecting young drivers and their passengers, as well as delivering an academic and vocational qualification for the young driver that may also broaden the base of employment opportunity for those opting for the a²om course over a simple driving test’.
HRH Prince Michael of Kent, GCVO, Patron of the Global Road Safety Commission
‘Being able to drive is an important route to employment, and should be embedded in our education system; driving well provides a route to continued employment - this breakthrough will give young people a chance in life which was just not there before’.
Adrian Walsh, director of RoadSafe
